I was wondering if any of you survivors remember my brother.  His name was David McDonner.  I'm not sure of his rank.  From what I understand,  he survived for 3 days in the water.  I was 3 years old on July 31, 1942 just one day after your ship sank.  I didn't have a chance to get to know him.  If anyone remembers him,  can you tell me what you remember about him?  I am and always have been very proud of all of you.  Thank you,  Kathleen

Hi Kathleen. A quick look in the book "Only 317 Survived" lists your brother David as F1 or Fireman First Class. If you don't hear anything from any of the Survivors on this website, please contact me at jbelcher@cfw.com and I'll see if maybe we can find someone who knew him.

Hi Kathleen, I hope you find some information about your brother. Brett
